Spoke too soon!

Saw the PSA on singletrack and thought it was complete bikes but they have frames too. Just about to click on the mukluk frame.

Happy days :D

I saw that. £250! I was tempted and I don't have any use for a fat bike, but thought it may lead to a trip somewhere interesting. Hopeless bargain justification!

'happy new bike' !

(edit, I should've checked the bargain alert thread. Stu already posted it there earlier. Sorry)

I plumped for this one
http://www.billys.co.uk/english/group.p ... 2013Mukluk
as it is a 16 inch frame and I quite like the purple (especially if I can get rim tape to match)

Thank goodness.

I was thinking about that frame today and now you've saved me from myself!!!

A 4" fatty tyre is almost exactly the same circumference as a 2.25 29er tyre. A 4" tyre capable of fitting onto a 29er rim would have a diameter of about 31" of course I may be talking rubbish but I have spent the last 2 days building Fattys.

You're making sense, but I still think it might happen :-)
